III.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer from 16 to 25<br />
The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a<br />
vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean<br />
floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without<br />
light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean<br />
bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.<br />
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first<br />
detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the<br />
National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the<br />
offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady<br />
position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from<br />
the ocean floor.<br />
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November<br />
1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed<br />
sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have<br />
allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to<br />
calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of<br />
evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of<br />
plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.<br />
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to<br />
understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back<br />
hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense<br />
chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record<br />
has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be<br />
used to predict future climates.<br />

V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer<br />
to each of the questions from 41 to 50.<br />
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century ago by<br />
Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to<br />
alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.<br />
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated<br />
as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a<br />
workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.<br />
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his<br />
language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One<br />
example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as<br />
in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means<br />
“pretty”. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word<br />
opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means<br />
“ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.<br />
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr.<br />
Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who<br />

<br />
hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had<br />
spread from Europe to America and Asia.<br />
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately700 attendees<br />
from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered<br />
for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its<br />
cancellation.<br />
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced,<br />
it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number,<br />
but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese<br />
speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps<br />
to try to make this happen.<br />
